Another shot above Deep Dale.
Interestingly, the variety of pink flowers in this shot got their name because they proliferate on scorched ground. Apparently they only became a common site after 1945, where they flowered on bomb sites, and then passing trains blew the seeds across the country, so it goes....where they have become one of our most common flowers.

Very nice image of a quintessential English scene. I love the cloudscapes in many of your images.

Beautiful composition, Richard! I really like how the numerous sheep seem to "reflect" on the numerous flowers :) ...wonderful colours here, and thank you for the intriguing write-up on these "common" flowers...I will certainly keep a better look-out for them next time!

Nice composition. I like the color in the foreground and the sheep in the background. The clouds add a touch to it and I like the wall running throughout the shot. Good job!

Beautiful scene Richard - we have a similar plant here with a yellow flower also called Fireweed - it's the first to colonise after fire, or disturbance.
